[Deptheads] 2015 Gamex

Fri Feb 20 17:34:48 PST 2015

I'll address Tim's question in-line because replying to both emails is redundant.
We tend to close around 2pm on Monday.  This is adjustable based on the traffic coming to the desk around that time.
As for paying out at the next con, it's not something we've done.  It's possible, but I strongly suggest that this not be implemented.  Otherwise we'd have all sorts of people coming up and saying that they didn't get a payout from last con.  Once we close our books, they're done and that hard and fast rule makes it difficult for someone to say "But you paid out <this person> from last con...."
I'd be more amenable to having the dept head come and collect the payout to give to the winners, as this evens out the accounting factor.
My 2cents, FWIW.

That would be nice. I have one single event that has a payout and they had
to move the end time to an earlier slot because of the payouts situation. A
carry over to the next con would be nice as long as it doesn't turn into a
huge pain in the ass for payouts.

If we have the logistics to do it I would say yes....Ken, is there a way to do the paperwork so that events ending within 30 minutes of payouts closing on MONDAY until after can be picked up at the next convention?

The concern isn't spending the tokens, its getting them.  Once payouts closes, players who might be winning dealer dollars cannot get them.  Can they get them the next convention? Do we allow that?
